APTA Named 'Provider of the Month' by National MS Society

APTA
recently was chosen from more than 250 nationwide provider organizations to be
the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Nationwide Service Provider of the Month for
November 2012. This award was developed in 2011 to show appreciation toward
provider organizations and to ensure that they receive the attention they
deserve for serving clients affected by multiple sclerosis (MS).

The
society promotes the Nationwide Service Provider of the Month in many ways
across the organization:

A
special bulletin is sent to the 35 information and referral specialists in the
society's national call center to alert them of the provider and suggest they
make appropriate referrals to the provider.

A special
summary is sent to all programs staff at the society's 45 chapters to ensure they
know of the provider and are referring applicable clients as appropriate.

The provider is
featured as the Provider of the Month on the society's Facebook page, which has more
than 136,000 followers. As of December 3, the post regarding APTA's selection
as Provider of the Month garnered 112 likes, 5 shares, and 8 comments.
